Hi Guys,
My 96 with 130k makes a weird sound when going into reverse from drive or park or when going from reverse to drive. Going from park to drive makes no sound at all - I think... At first, I thought it was more random but after working on the car today, I can say for sure it involves reverse.
I went into reverse and back to drive numerous times and I could here a ratchet, scraping sound. There is also a brief delay. ALL services were dont 13k ago when I swapped the engine. That included a flush to Mercon V and front pump seal replacement.
The problem first surfaced shortly after installing my chip from FastParts. I had been using the line pressure increase program with an extra 2 degree timing. I just switched to a program with stock shifts, same thing.
Yes it has a J-Mod that was done LONG AGO. The fluid was a little low, half a quart, but looked and smelled great. Am I the only one who likes the smell of hot Mercon V? All other shifts are fine. Other than the sound, all is good.
Ideas? Am I about to lose reverse?!?!?
